Since Knoxville was named The Maker City in 2016, The Maker City Summit has become the largest inspirational, educational event for makers in our area. Makers come together to be inspired, learn, network, and grow.

This year, The Maker City Summit spans three days and presents thirty different speakers through keynote presentations, panel discussions, break-out sessions, and guided networking – all centered around storytelling, connections, and innovation. Friday will kick off with networking, Saturday and Sunday focus on small business needs.

The Maker City Summit 2022 is a full weekend of workshops, powerful presentations, and meaningful networking. There is a social event on Friday, September 16 at The Maker Exchange. Main programming will take place on Saturday, September 17 – Sunday, September 18, also at The Maker Exchange in Downtown Knoxville, TN. The leaders of The Maker City Summit will be ready to ignite conversation and discuss the creative culture in our city, our region, and our nation.
